Oklahoma vs Kentucky predictions, picks, odds

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Friday, Oct. 16:

• Spread: OU (-6.5)
• Over/under: 43.5
• Moneyline: OU -235 | UK +200

Prediction: Kentucky 21, OU 20

Picking against the Sooners coming off an emotional Red River win feels like a fool's errand. However, the Wildcats are on a four-game winning streak since falling apart late against Alabama. If Will Stein can become the first UK coach since Bear Bryant in the 1951 Sugar Bowl to beat OU, then the playoff path gets real interesting.
